Ok guys I've just started on replacing my king pins. I've got one brake backing plate off ok but the other is proving a problem. The inner bearing won't budge and I was wondering if I'll need to use a puller on it or if I could use a punch from behind to ease the bearing forward on the shaft.

Appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks

Bob

I used heat to remove mine but I replaced the bearings. If you are going to use it again I wouldn't heat it. It will probably come off tapping on it with a brass punch if you can find a place to tap on.
